Description

Spanish rice is a delicious and flavorful side dish that can be easily paired with any main course. This recipe uses tomato bouillon to give the rice a rich and savory flavor that will make your taste buds dance. It's the perfect addition to any Mexican or Spanish-inspired meal.

Prep Time

10 minutes

Cook Time

25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon tomato bouillon
  • 1 3/4 cups water

Equipment

  • Large saucepan with lid
  • Wooden spoon

Method

  1. Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold running water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
  4. Add the rice and salt and stir to coat the rice in the oil and vegetables. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice starts to turn golden brown.
  5. Add the tomato paste and tomato bouillon and stir to combine.
  6. Add the water and stir well. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid.
  7. Simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
  8. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
  9. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.

Notes

For a more colorful dish, add some frozen peas and carrots to the rice during the last 5 minutes of cooking. You can also add some sliced jalapeño for a little extra heat.

Recipe Tips

To prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot, make sure to stir it occasionally during the cooking process. Also, resist the urge to lift the lid too often, as this lets steam escape and can result in undercooked rice. Finally, you can double or triple this recipe to feed a larger group - just make sure to use a bigger pot!
